Hmm another top down shooter. Ok maybe I shouldn’t approach this game with a closed mind but I really wish they could come up with something new. We already have Geometry Wars 1 and 2 plus several other successful shooters in this genre so let’s see how this one fairs.

PowerUp Forever has tried to differentiate itself from the pack by emphasizing the gameplay element that you can continuously power up your ship  with new weapons and armor but what is interesting is that the upgrades are never the same and will be unique each time you play the game. This is quirky and fun to begin with but unfortunately does not really affect the gameplay (even though the enemy parasites change each time like your ship). A lot of work has gone into the graphics, art work and overall presentation of this game and it really does look great but after a while you realize that the visuals are it’s only strong point. Yes ok there are 5 modes but you are basically doing the same thing in each one and the biggest negative point is the fact that there is no multiplayer at all just a leaderboard, not impressed at all!
